Canada: Giatec has launched Roxi, an AI testing programme designed to reduce cement use in ready-mix concrete production. The programme combines with Giatec’s proprietary sensing technology. The supplier has received funding from Sustainable Development Technology Canada (SDTC) for Roxi’s development and industrial roll-out.
CEO Pouria Ghods said “Based on two case studies, we estimate that up to 20% reduction in cement usage can be achieved using our technology. With this funding, Giatec will provide a solution that will bring not only economic, but also environmental benefits, by reducing CO2 emissions, air pollution, and water use in the construction industry.”
